Berlin, August 6, 2014 - The Document Foundation (TDF) announces that
ITOMIG is now a member of its Advisory Board. ITOMIG, based in
Böblingen, Germany, is a spin off of the University of Tübingen focusing
on open source solutions for the enterprise.

“Since 2004, ITOMIG is at the crossroad of German and French cultures,
offering value added services for the introduction of OSS software such
as LibreOffice in enterprises, the selection and use of open source
tools for the optimization of IT processes, and the management of
migration and sourcing projects”, says David Gümbel, founder and CEO of
ITOMIG. “During the last couple of years, we have seen a growing demand
for LibreOffice related value added services, and we have invested to
grow our specific competences in this area”.

“ITOMIG will bring diversity to TDF Advisory Board, adding the
perspective of German value added software consultants”, says Thorsten
Behrens, Chairman of The Document Foundation. “The announcement
strengthens the entire ecosystem, because it shows that TDF vision of an
independent project can foster the growth of third parties investing in
LibreOffice”.

TDF Advisory Board has 15 members: AMD, CloudOn, Collabora, FrODeV
(Freies Office Deutschland e.V.), FSF (Free Software Foundation),
Google, Intel, KACST (King Abdulaziz City of Science and Technology),
